Mera Peak Climbing

Mera Peak Climbing

Mera Peak climbing is one of the most popular mountaineering activities in the entire tourism industry of Nepal. This ultimate mountain sport will definitely quench all your desire of gaining adventurous experiences. The mountain peak lies in Mahalangur section and Barun sub-section in the Everest Himalaya Region of Nepal. Mera peak stands high up above the sea level with an altitude of 6,476 m/21,246 ft. This particular mountain is considered suitable for both trekking as well as peak-climbing.

Mera Peak has three tributaries; Mera Central [6,461m/21,197ft], Mera North [6,476 m] and Mera South [6,065m/19,898ft]. All of the three peaks are equally suitable for expedition, trekking and peak climbing. Along with these three peaks, you get to gain close panoramic views of other neighboring mountain peaks such as Mount Everest [8,848m/29,029ft], Makalu [8,462m/27,762ft], Cho Oyu [8,201m/26,906ft], Lhotse [8,516m/27,940ft] and Kanchenjunga [8,586m/28,169ft].

There are several routes to the summit of Mera peak. However, we have included the most standard form of route in our itinerary. This route ascends from the north with high glaciers on its way that we need to go through in order to gain access to the summit. If weather conditions and luck favors, it takes no more effort to meet our destination comparing to the routes that start from west and south faces. We highly recommend this ultimate form of mountaineering activity if you wish to change your holiday from boring to adventurous.

Trekking in the remote areas, especially during unusual season, you’re advised to keep extra days to prepare with some delays and avoid frustrating result. In case of delay in flight previous to trek departure or at the end of the trek, you need to manage your accommodation and food costs by yourself.

Electricity Crisis Problem in Nepal

It is difficult to told you that Nepal has an electricity problem because Nepal is 2nd richest country in water resource but it is true Nepal still facing the problem. It means there is electricity off for some hours in day and night time. Most of the hotels in Kathmandu, Pokhara and other cities are possible to have no battery backup. In that case Air condition may not work and, sometimes, TV and other electric utensils may not run. Some hotels have possible to run the TV and AC as well. But, only few of them are lies in this standard category.

So, be organized for this while you are traveling in Nepal. For that situation, we suggested you to bring the flashlight with extra batteries.

Great Experience of My Everest Kalapathar and Island Peak Trek

Mr Bishnu
Pokhrel from Gold Mountain Nepal Treks organized for me a very nice trek around the
Sagarmatha National Park on September 2014.

I spent 17
days in the Khumbu region with a guide and full lodge accommodation. my
itinerary was defined by me and the company provided an English Speaking local
guide. We went from Lukla to Gokyo Ri, crossed the Cho La Pass in deep Winter
conditions, continued the trekking up to Khumbu Glacier and Kala Pathar and
finally discovered a precious glacier valley in the East of Sagarmatha, the
Imja Kosi, until Chukkung and the Imja Tsé (Island Peak) base camp, where the
organization set a campsite with tents and kitchen for the climbing of this 6000
m trekking peak.

Tim's card
for trekking in the National Park, SPCC Climbing permit for Imja Tsé and
the plane tickets from Katmandú to Lukla (round trip) were also
issued by the company.

Gold
Mountain Nepal Treks also picked me at the international Airport, booked from me
hotel in the city and organized a sightseeing tour with personal guide around
Kathmandu before my trek and a farewell dinner before my return.

I really
appreciate the work done by Gold Mountain Nepal Treks and I recommend you to book
your trek to them. They are responsible and efficient, and have very good
prices too.

Owesome Experience of Ghorepani Poonhill Trek

The guide Deepak was Very
flexible and had a good feeling for people and their differing needs. His local knowledge
was good and his language also excellent so I had no problem with his English.

The
porter Krishna was extremely helpful. I had a great
time with the company Gold Mountain Nepal Treks & Expedition. I am
sure, I will came back again for another trekking named Everest Base
Camp
with the company. I will recommend you to my friends who want to come
Nepal for Adventure Trekking, Tours, Peak Climbing, Jungle Safari etc.

Thanks again to Bishnu (Owner of the Company) for provided excellent service even the low cost.
